NO - Absolutely NOT ! ! ! No Messin with DIY - NOT ME ! ! !
Just trying to get the hang of using an atty and dripping to test/taste "Stuff" . . . AND - What I have been doing is - Put a few drops in the atty - heat up - take a vape . . . No Vape/Taste add a few more drops of "e-liquid" . . . repeat process . . . Until I can tell what it taste like or if there is any taste at all . . . Then Repeat Process . . . First use 3.7 then with maybe a higher voltage PV that registers 5 volts . . . (I do not use any VV/VW when testing ) . . . Once finished - Wash & Rinse Atty . . . Repeat another time . . . Blow moisture out of atty . . . Dry Burn (?) . . . Test Another "e-liquid" . . . Repeat same as above . . . Sometimes - I may even have to add a drop or 2 of Menthol or Kolada . . . VERY Frustrating . . .
5: Okay a few pointers. If you are using a new wick depending on the material each will have a "break in" time. The flavors can be missing for as much as 1ml before the flavor comes through and the wick is seasoned. Dry burn can be used sometimes with success and sometimes not, I do not try this process as I usually do not find good results. The flavor of your juice will also determine if you can use another juice in the atty without cleaning; what I mean is some juices do not leave a flavor when changing to another flavor. Other flavors can be so strong that it leaves its flavor in the wick no matter what other flavor you try. So in the end it is a trial and error, just keep in mind those strong flavors that will never leave, you will need to test on a new wick. The material and how much gunk has built up will effect "dry burn" I made greater progress in this frustrating part of vaping by taking notes, so I did not repeat the same bad result.
On another note you should DIY and I can help you out
I could point you to a few people on ECF who are now successful by PM text instructions.

What is wrong with me? Only getting a few posts in this week?
Hasn't been a very good week. Busy. Vapetastrophies scattered about the week. Weather went cold. Some dumb arguments with the wife. Write ups at work.
Really glad the weekend is here.

1. (PIF) Boardo sounds like an awful week! Ugh!
Confessions: 1. I'm not going to catch up my reading lol missed a fair bit. 2. I went back to cigs for about two weeks. Between my health issues and other stress, 6mg nic wasn't cutting it. That's part of why I was grateful to win last week, between that and finally getting to place a couple orders, I've stepped back up to 12mg and am cig free again. 3. I have no idea when I will have a chance to get on the computer to change my siggy banner lol

The important thing, Butterfly, is that you are back on track and avoiding at least some cigarettes. Ditto to Uncle. The fewer you smoke the better off you are!
I'm proud of you both!!
I'm off to the Land of Nod. I'm sure I'll be awake at 4 or 5 AM to declare this weeks winner and start a new thread. I'm glad to see we had over 500 posts!

I am with you there I had a venue last week and my cats diabetes glucose level is not improving. I do good at night because #1 I am not drinking coffee, #2 I am not driving, #3 I have all this nice support form everyone on this site. It is a real battle..my juice box has mg from 6 mg up to 24 mg. I shuffle them around when I feel I need more or less nic. Keep up the good work on your journey back to vapeland

2. (PIF) ugh, hang in there! I hope that level improves soon! And any cig avoided is a win!
My best times are at home, I have no issues as long as I don't *have* cigs. But I tell ya the minute I go anywhere, ugh LOL. Don't know why its hard all the sudden. I sailed smooth smoke free for like a year and a half. Strange. Glad I have all these awesome juices from the Vape Tree! LOL. Reviews pending!
GMO, I still gotta get some reviews up on your site, I've been meaning to. Just got delayed. Rest well!
#5. I'm sorry to hear about your problems but I'm glad you said something. I've been cutting my nicotine levels quickly and giving away all my 12mg stuff. Now I know I should keep some just in case. I never want to go back to cigarettes. IMO, a little slip isn't a reason to change your siggy. If at all, I'd just subtract the two weeks and leave it like that.

@ "tiggerrts" - THANKS, Really appreciate the pointers, however I am not using that kind of atty . . . They look like cartomizers without any filler - so no wicks that I know of - just a heating element at the bottom of a tube . . . I have 2 different types/sizes 1" and the other approximately an 1 1/2" . . . As for the "E-Liquids" that I am testing, most of them are supposedly Menthol - and those that I can taste are very minty/peppermint (Both which I dislike - so the reason and need for cleaning after I have tried them) . . . AND - Then there are a few Tobaccos I am working on too . . .BTW: So far in the past year, I've gone through about 73 bottles of different flavors that are supposed to be menthols and still have another 50 or more here of Tobacco's and Tobacco Menthols to go through too . . . AND - That is not even counting the last 3 bottles that GMO sent me a couple of weeks ago to try or the other 5 bottles I just got also . . . Thankfully - I have a couple of "E-liquids" I do like and use - like "GMO's" Absinthe, and from a couple of other Vendors a Black Licorice, and a Cinnamon Flavor that I add Menthol and Kolada to them . . . So Without a doubt - Taking Notes . . . Got to, along with Labeling/Numbering the atty I am using so I can give the "E-Liquid" another try before giving up on it totally . . . As for doing any DIY . . . Nope - Na Da - Not Happening . . . There is no way it will ever happen . . . I have enough trouble trying to figure out how much Menthol/Kolada to put in the atties/Cartomizer with the "E-Liquids" I am using part-time untill I can find the one ADV "E-liquid" I am still looking for . . .OH WELL - at least I'm still plugging away at this . . . Just Sayin' . . .
EDIT: Oh & Remember - I'm the Guy that wants to be able to do the same as I did when I would be able to go to the store walkin and just buy what I NEED - without having to fiddle around with stuff too . . .

3. (PIF) Susan, good call on the siggy, I think when I get on my computer I'll add two weeks Thanks! And yeah I totally recommend keeping a bottle of higher nic around just in case. I think it would have helped me if I would have
